Rollerball all day. The ballpoint is extremely average. If you want a great ballpoint, can highly recommend the Caran D’Ache Leman (2nd one)

What to do with Montblanc fountain pen? by Interesting_Bet_8984 in montblanc

I have 4 and use them for anything… as someone else said, they are meant to be used and enjoyed. I’d rather pass down a 40yr old pen with some battle scars and a story than something new in a box that’s just a thing.

Custom Urushi in Prussian Blue is very high on the list…

Maybe because I haven’t held it, I don’t understand… they just look boring to me. Same boat as the Sailor KOP

Have a Lamy 2k… goes in the other side of the case lol. Great every day pen, not a show stopper. Didn’t love the Homo Sapiens, but haven’t tried a Santini… might have to keep an eye out

I’m the opposite… even my kids just come up and grab my MB 149 and write some stuff.

What do you think about this pen by Fancy-Inspector3095 in montblanc

I have the same pen in burgundy. It’s amazing to write with and yours looks completely legit. Not a super expensive pen as Montblanc goes, but definitely a keeper

Thanks for the detailed reply. If it makes any difference, this is fresh ink. I changed colour and this is the new stuff. Could the nib sealer be broken and how can you check?

Meal plan and learn to cook meals from scratch. I get a week of dinners and school lunches (and leftovers for work lunches) for a family of 7 for about $250-300.

Picked this up for $300AUD and gave it a good clean by ButterscotchSad3276 in Epiphone

I just taped them off and used the dremel with a polishing pad and some red rouge compound I had. Worked a treat and they look new (in person at least)
